So a friend of mine, Muriel, is French and wrote me this very nice email all about this track.
I Thought it might be of interest to others as well...
> Was it full of cursing? I presume it was...
No, It is rather poetic and well written but it sounds full of angst to me.
This kind of statement that wants to open consciousness and prevent the
devastation of the planet and the human kind. It deals with the cycle of
destruction and self-annihilation.
First of all, I’ll teach you how to pronounce "annuler l’apocalypse" that
means "annul the apocalypse!" or "Let’s cancel the apocalypse!" ;-)
The intention is rather positive but the description that follows is sinister
therefore the song is frightening.
It’s the kind of advice that turns into a threat: I’m gonna tell you how bad
it’s gonna be if you don’t stop this dull game, and I’m gonna make it f* scary
for you to freak out!
He starts by speaking about a group of idiots that don’t realize what’s the
apocalypse is gonna look like. Then, he’s offering to describe how it’s gonna
really be after the apocalypse, in order to make them think about what they
are doing.
By employing human metaphors, he pictures the earth like an organic mess that
feeds itself with its own destruction. Mouths stand everywhere talking into a
cacophony, but there are no ears to listen… no eyes to look…
A few extracts:
"… a sterile memory that looks for eyes to accompany its voice. They are
mouths without a sight…"
"… mouths that keeps aspiring the void and the smoke…"
"The animal lay down into shreds on the earth that gets its power and riches
from this sublime fertilizer that is organic material in process of
decomposition."
"Debris became raw materials. Green is the fruit of the perfect union between
sky and dirt, between male and female."
"… an invitation to silence, to wisdom…"
Well, it’s more sophisticated that it sounds from my translation. He uses
powerful images but there is something quite nihilist in the tone of his voice
and a little conventional in the way the lyrics are articulated. Something
that remembers me post-punk French bands like Pigalle and Les Garcons
Bouchers. Something roughly punk! Too despairing if you know what I mean! I’ll
lend you my Pigalle records. I still love them but I want to move on from
hopelessness!
I made some research on Cavage. It’s a real "Underground" label funded in
1997. They seem to be deeply anti-fascist and to some extend to oppose
themselves to capitalism. They are also critical of the music industry.
